10 Witchy Things to Do in April to Celebrate Spring Magic
Looking for magical ways to celebrate spring? April is full of witchy energy—think blooming flowers, cleansing rains, and fresh intentions. Whether you're a beginner witch or a seasoned practitioner, this list of simple witchy things to do in April will help you connect with the season, honor nature, and bring a little magic into your everyday life.
1. Plant Witchy Herbs
Even if you don’t have a garden, a sunny windowsill will work too. Try planting herbs like basil (for protection), lavender (for peace), or rosemary (for memory and clarity).
Personal note: I once planted rosemary in a pot and promptly forgot to water it... so much for the memory help! I also planted mint in my garden, not knowing it would take over the whole thing! It was a huge surprise to this brown-thumbed gardener!
2. Cleanse Your Space (Spring Witch Style)
April is great for a good ol’ spring cleaning, but make it magickal! Sweep out the cobwebs (literally and spiritually). Use a cleansing spray or smoke from incense to refresh the energy in your home.
3. Collect Rainwater
In Florida, we get rain frequently, but it really ramps up in the summer. in a lot of the USA, however, Rain is April’s middle name, so grab a jar and collect some! Use it for spells, watering plants, or making moon water with extra stormy oomph.
I have to be more aware of where I collect my rainwater now; last year I left my fancy mason jar outside by our screen door, and out dog, Josie, thought it was her new water bowl. Witchy life = real life, right?
4. Make a Flower Crown
Celebrate the blooming season by making yourself a flower crown. Use real or fake flowers, twigs, ribbon, or anything you’ve got. Then wear it while dancing around your kitchen like a forest fairy. Dance like no one is watching, right?
5. Do an April Tarot Reading
Pull a card for each week of the month and write down what it means to you. It’s like planning ahead... with a magical twist!
6. Make an Eggshell Spell Jar
Save some eggshells from your spring cooking or Ostara celebrations. Crush them and add to a little jar with other protective herbs like salt and rosemary. Perfect for warding off bad vibes!
Just keep it apart from your spice mix. Trust me.
7. Have a Tea Leaf Reading Party (Even Solo!)
Make a cozy cup of loose-leaf tea, sip slowly, and see what shapes form in the bottom. If it looks like a rabbit, maybe it’s time to leap into something new!
I'm not very good at this practice - I once saw a blob that looked like a turtle wearing a crown and still am not sure what it meant.
8. Try a New Spell or Ritual
April energy is fresh and full of possibilities. Try a spell you’ve never done before, like a manifestation jar, a money bowl, or a simple candle ritual for growth. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes just lighting a green candle and saying, “Abundance is welcome here,” is more than enough.
9. Connect with the Earth
Take a barefoot walk in your yard or sit under a tree with your journal. April is full of earthy energy, and it’s a great time to ground yourself.
10. Create a Witchy April Altar
Add spring flowers, pastel candles, eggshells, or symbols of rebirth and new beginnings to your altar. Don’t worry if it’s just a corner of your dresser—magick doesn’t care how big the space is.
Mine currently has a random pinecone, a purple candle, and six wooden eggs. It's not fancy, but it works.
Final Thoughts
April is full of little moments of magick—rainy days, budding flowers, and that wild feeling that anything could happen. Whether you’re planting herbs, dancing in your flower crown, or just sipping tea by the window, remember this: You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Witchcraft is about intention, joy, and a little sparkle in the everyday.
Now go out there and make April magical. Or at least try to keep your rosemary plant alive. I believe in you!
Stay mystical, friends!
